Jakarta – Presidential Candidate Number 3, Ganjar Pranowo revealed strategies to protect Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) during the fifth debate with the theme of Social Welfare, Culture, Education, Information Technology, Health, Employment, Human Resources, and Inclusion.
Ganjar emphasizes that all institutions, including embassies, BP2MI, the Ministry of Manpower, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and local governments, must collaborate to protect Indonesian migrant workers (PMI).
"Sharing our experience after communicating with migrant workers in Hong Kong, they asked, 'What protection is provided to us?' In my opinion, this is a panic button; we need the government to intervene," Ganjar said at JCC Senayan, Jakarta, on Sunday.
Ganjar stated that before PMI depart overseas, their legality must be correct and properly completed.

"From the moment they leave, we should already know their skills, and we should be aware of what is in the employment contract. There should be institutions with control in place," he emphasized.
He also shared a bit of his experience during his tenure as the Governor of Central Java, where he assisted residents facing issues abroad.
"At that time, there were some workers facing problems in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Cambodia, suspected of human trafficking. As the Governor, I took decisive action by calling the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Ambassadors to inquire about resolving those issues," he explained.
As information, Indonesia will hold the 2024 general elections on February 14, in which around 204.8 million people are expected to exercise their voting rights.
